rust chapter 15 Coruscant, Jedi temple They waited outside the council chambers for their turn. Each of them had been called into the council's presence individually. Though they weren't sure what was going on they were willing to find out. Chani was in the council chambers. She came out a few moments later and was shaking. She wouldn't tell them why. Kira had come out swearing, in every language she knew. Petra came out sobbing and hugged us without warning. Now it was Isis's turn. The young Jedi stood by the door waiting for her. "Relax, I'll handle this" said Isis rising to follow him into the chamber. The door closed behind her as she entered. She walked forward slowly eyeing the chamber she had entered. The council members were seated around a circle shaped chamber. She walked forward and stopped in the center of that circle. She waited calmly for them to say something. The room was unnaturally silent and they seemed to be trying to intimidate her with it. She stood her ground, her parents taught her all about intimidation. They were both in the legal profession. Perhaps they were trying to test her patience. She refused to be baited into talking first. If they insisted on playing this game, they would play by her rules. She wondered if this was why Kira had been so bent, she would have been annoyed in the first five minutes. Chani would have stared open mouthed at the alien members of the group, Or at least until something flew into her mouth. Petra on the other hand would have tried to fill the silence with chatter, incessant mind-boggling chatter. To the point one of them would have told her to shut up, just to keep their sanity She smiled to herself but otherwise gave no indication she was even concerned with the assembled group. Her watch chimed the half hour mark three times while she waited. Just as she was about to go to sleep standing up. She wondered vaguely if she did fall asleep would they continue to watch her or wake her "wake you most definitely" said the one she knew as Mace. "Emotions conflicted of yours they are," said the little green alien. She turned and gazed directly at the small alien, she recognized him from Geonosis. She had never gotten his name though "I've had a very conflicting week" she answered. 'Indeed you have" said Mace. She waited for him to say more but a woman in a weird headdress interrupted by saying "you have a lot of anger in you" she said. Isis turned her attention to the speaker and said "that is your doing not mine, and in all honesty it's closer to irritation," answered Isis. Before the Jedi woman could reply another spoke "your friends have told us that Dooku has trained others besides you and your friends" said an alien with weird horns on the side of his head. "I wouldn't know what my friends told you because they were too upset after leaving your presence to talk to me" said Isis coolly. If it was information they wanted they would have to wait until they gained some manners. "You are upset about how we treated your friends?" said an alien with horns on top of his head. "Yes, I am" she answered. "Your friends inability to control their emotions are of no concern to us," said an alien with huge ears. "And your lack of knowledge is not mine" she answered in the same tone. His sharp retort was cut off by a woman with a dot on her forehead 'odd you seem to have no force signature but from our reports you can use it?" said the woman looking at Isis like she somehow knew why that was. "Odd it is, yes" said a female version of the little green guy. "Very odd indeed" said a Jedi with an impossibly long neck. Isis pursed her lips in irritation "its very rude to discuss someone when their standing in the same room" she said A fluffy haired alien turned to look at her "we're not being rude youngling" he stated as though she would simply take its word "and you based that on what exactly?" she argued back "there is no need for hostility," said a ghostlike figure next to it. "I'm not hostile" she retorted but it came out louder than she intended. The council collectively glared at her she glared back, trying to hide her embarrassment. Some one cleared his throat and said "now back to Dooku's other trainees" said the man "what about them?' said Isis "your friends all stated that He was running some sort of school for Sith" said big ears. He made it sound like an accusation and Isis instantly resented it. "If my friends said they were then they were" she responded her eyes flashing a dare. /Don't call my friends liars/ she thought. Yoda chose that moment to break the tension "trained by school this you were?" asked the little green guy. Isis calmed at the soft-spoken tone it was using. "Yes though we didn't enroll by choice" said Isis "interesting is this," said the little green guy resting his chin on a walking stick. "So you didn't seek out the Sith?' said the guy with horns on his head. "Seek out how, we don't have technology like this where I come from" said Isis "what kind of technology do you have?' asked Mace she snorted "internal combustion engines, jets that sort of thing not full blown space ships" said Isis. That sent a murmur through the crowd. "If that is so how did you end up on Geonosis?' asked spot woman. "That's easy were we're kidnapped by a bounty hunter named Jango Fett," said Isis. "We've heard of him," said Mace. Did they really think we wanted to be involved in intergalactic war? She thought "Kenobi reported that you requested his help leaving this, school?" stated fuzzy alien number two. "How do we know you are not a spy, sent to infiltrate our ranks?" said weird headdress lady. "If they were going to declare war don't you think they would have already done that?" said Isis. Fuzzy glared at her in irritation, she smiled at him in return "What are your plans child?' asked Mace "well that would depend on you" she answered "on us how?" asked Mace clearly confused "on if you can show enough manners to apologize to myself and my friends for your rude behavior" said Isis "and if we do not?" asked Mace "then you have all the information you will be getting, this interview is over" said Isis. She turned on her heel and walked out the door. The council stared at the closing door in open-mouthed shock. Her friends were waiting outside when she came out. Isis was grinning ear to ear. "Well how did it go?" asked Kira. Isis waved her off and said "they thought hey we're all intimidating and stuff" "they were mean" sniffled Petra Chani patted her on the back "that's ok luv they were rude to the lot of us" said Kira "so what did you tell um?" asked Chani "I just verified what you said and demanded an apology" said Isis. Her friends gasped in shock "Isis you didn't?" said Kira "you bet I did" said Isis. She glanced at the doors in time to see Obi and Anakin walk through them. Obi wan had seen Isis walk out of the council chambers and was surprised to see her so soon. He wondered what was said to her to make her wish to leave so soon. The page waved them inside as they approached. Guess they were about to find out. The door closed behind him and Anakin. Leaving them alone in the chamber with the council. The council was in an uproar, some of the members were actually arguing with each other. Obi glanced at his companion; Anakin seemed shocked by the display. / What did she say to them/ Sent Anakin through their link. Mace was the first of the members to notice them and acknowledge their presence. "Our new allies have been less than cooperative," said Mace "did they explain why?" asked Obi, clearly perplexed by the news. Isis had seemed reasonable and eager to help. Mace frowned at his question and rubbed his chin. He was he realized reacting out of anger. She had been right they had been attempting to intimidate her and her friends. She just wasn't as vulnerable as her compatriots. "To friends rude she claimed us," answered Yoda. Anakins eyes widened in shock she had the audacity to call the council rude? "We're you?" asked Obi wan. Several council members looked at each other "yes I suppose we were" said Mace. "Begging your pardon masters but was that all she said?" asked Anakin. Mace sighed "no, she confirmed what her friends stated and you reported" said Adi "that and demanded we apologize to her and her friends before she provides us with anything else" said Ki Mundi "Obi wan you have spent some time with this Isis, how well do you know her?" asked Mace "she seems a very capable and stable person, I sensed no overwhelming anger in her if that's what you mean" said Obi "can they be trusted in your opinion?" asked Adi "yes I believe so" said Obi "and her loyalties?" question Qorl "I would have to say with her friends first" said Obi "do you concur Padawan Skywalker" asked Mace "yes indeed I do masters" said Anakin "Good yes this is, have skills they do shame to waste it is" said Yoda "yes indeed, it would, what do you propose we do about that?" asked Mace "cement her loyalties to us we must" said Ki "agreed Isis and her friends represent a valuable source of information that we desperately need we cannot allow them to simply walk out on us" said Yarel Poof "No, no of course not" said Mace "insure hers must cooperation we do" said Yoda "there is still the question of loyalty" said Poof "I was getting to that" said Mace "Obi wan, the girl Isis is close to you and your padawan is she not?" said Mace "yes master she aided us at the battle of geonosis" answered Obi "I believe she considers us friends" said Anakin "That is all well and good but we something beyond mere friendship" said Mace. Obi wan stiffened in surprises were they asking what he was thinking they were asking? "Is that not against the code masters?" asked Obi wan. The council member looked at each other for a moment "yes it is Obi wan but for the sake of the order we are willing to set aside certain things" said Poof "meaning what exactly?" asked Obi. Anakin had grown uncharacteristically quiet beside him. Obi was vaguely disquieted by that fact. 'She will not like being used or tricked" said Obi wan "then make sure the feelings are genuine" said Mace "I know you have misgivings Obi wan but you do like her do you not?" said Adi. Anakin chose that moment to speak "master if I may ask a question why is her loyalty so vital is she not just an informer?" said Anakin "yes Anakin she is a informer as well as someone with a great deal of force potential" said Mace "yes but she is too old to train as a Jedi" said Anakin "not necessarily my young friend" said Mace "Anakin may I ask you something what was your impression of Isis and her friends on Geonosis?" asked Mace. Anakin frowned not really having an answer other than they cried a lot and did cool tricks. Before he could voice those Mace interrupted "let me if I may tell you what I saw" said Mace. 'What I saw in that arena was four young women, who worked as a perfectly concerted team to help bring about our victory" said Mace "with out whom many of our order would have perished that day" said Mace. Anakin nodded for him to continue "what I saw was four women using the force like they were born to it, and you know what the most amazing thing was about all of that?" Anakin nodded no. "they did it with almost no force signature or disturbance" said Mace "now do you understand why we want them on our side?" said Depa 'but they are not Jedi's how is this possible?" said Anakin "No they are not Jedi's yet" said Mace "yet?" said Obi wan "we are not yet certain as to the how of their abilities just that they have them" answered Depa "which brings us to our next request" said Opo "indeed, it does" said Poof "on this more we will find later" said Yoda Mace ignored the statement; they had already gone over this. "Padawan Skywalker" said Mace "yes master" answered Anakin "do you feel ready to pass your trials?" asked Mace. "Yes of course master" said Anakin " and do you still aspire to the position of master?" asked mace "Anakin held his breath not believing his ears "yes of course master" he answered "you are aware that in order to be considered a master you must successfully train a padawan to knighthood?" asked Adi. Anakin became serious, or more serious if that were possible "yes master" he answered. "We wish to make a request of you" said mace "make no mistake this task will be most difficult" said Adi "we have thought this over long and hard and with the guidance of the force we have decided to train these girls" said Plo Koon. Anakin looked shocked as did Obi wan. "Are they not too old for training?" asked Obi "normally yes" said Depa "but we have decided to put aside age constraints for the time being" said Mace. Anakin was in shock and Obi was dismayed, why were they making so many concessions for these girls? "We ask that you Mr. Skywalker upon ascension to the rank of Knight that you Skywalker accept the challenge of taking on one of them as your padawan?" said Ki Mundi "would you?" said Ki "Of course after you have done so you will have earned the rank of master" said Mace. Anakin was in shock here was something he aspired to since he got here being held up before him like the golden ring. Part of him questioned why, the other part urged him to go for it. "Yes of course masters I would be honored" he said at last finding his voice. "Good I knew we could count on you" said mace "master obi wan, I know you've already proven yourself by training Young Skywalker but we must ask that you again take on a similar task when he moves on to his own, will you?" asked Plo Koon. Obi wan seemed torn for a few moments. Just what was going on here? "Yes of course" he answered. "This you mistake not, unlearn teaching of Dooku they must" said Yoda "yes of course all of their previous training with maybe the exception being their saber training must be redone, just to erase the Sith influence" said Mace Obi wan cleared his throat "may I ask who will train the other two" he asked. "Knights Fisto and Secura have already agreed to the task," said Depa. Obi nodded "though we have one request that one of you, train the one called Isis" said Mace Obi nodded his understanding. Anakin was watching the council members when he came to the shocking revelation, they were afraid of these girls. Obi knew that it was time to go when they turned their attention to other matters. He left the council chambers Anakin fell into step next to him. Back in the council chambers "Do you think it wise to offer Skywalker the position of master so soon after attaining the rank of knight?" asked Depa "it was necessary to secure his cooperation in this venture" said Mace "I must question the wisdom of placing our chosen one with someone who has been exposed to Sith teachings" said Opo "that is precisely why we must to see if Skywalker can resist temptation" said Adi "are you going to concede to her request and apologize to them?" asked Poof "I believe it would be in our best interest to do so" said Mace
